5 2 1 lr m h s i r slj jtrtmt was thursday morxtko may 0 1880 arbor day tomorrow ia arbor day day set apart by the minister of education oit which te teachers aifl children of the pnblio schools are expected to plant trees and otherwise beautify the school grounds and also the day proclaimed by oui municipal authorities a public holiday when tech citizen is requested to plant at least one tree in town the indications are that the day will be marked with the usual success which attends our annual arbor day a good many orders have already been given for trees and provisions have been made sp that all citizens wishing trees for planting will be supplied at a nominal charge the schools are taking some interest in the matter and the pupils wut assist in planting trees on the school grounds that day arbor day will gener ally be much talked about if the teachers announce the intention to have it observed many plans will be proposed to obtain arrange plant and name trees and shrubs jt is hoped the day will bei observed in the sense intended and that the result will be that by tomorrow evening the number of trees oof the various streets and avenues of our attractive little townavill be largely augmented notes and oomments at the oounrjnation of 1100 children re- cently held in t lie eoman catholio cathe dral at dublin ireland archbishop walsh administered tl le total abstinence pledge to the whole of tie candidates and warned them earnestly against the evils of drink 1 t that resolution in a letter to the brantlord referram respecting that papers peculiar emphasis of the antiscott resolution recently passed by miltons council bev d l brethour of that city for three years a resident of milton say b youattachtoomuch importance to those resolutions- the village of georgetown with a population larger than milton pass ed i believe unanimously resolutions diametrically opposed to the milton con demnation i have not seen the action of the georgetown council in the telegram is that fair play 1 if you knew the history of the milton resolutions you would not write so bitterly of the failure of the scott law and the rain it has wrought your readers are probably not aware perhaps that milton is largely antiscott act it is the headquarters of liquordom in the county the ruling spirits of evil reside there before the act was passed they prophesied all manner of evil and have not failed day and night since to say the same things cvery effort has been made to violate the law and every possible en couragement and protection have been given to those who debauch the people one member of that town council is an old offender against license laws he was fined under the crooks act and twice for break ing thesoott act as well as accused of perjury what eanr you expect from a town council which fellowships with a spirit of the above description i am glad to say however that three votes were cast against the milton resolutions let your readers remember that milton numbers a very small proportion of the population of halton about one in 15 is it fair to condemn a law that is doing immense good to well nigh 20000 people because it is made a failure by the determined wicked ness of a majbnty of 1500 in milton why does milton iown council ask the govern- ment to repeal the law if lit is such a bad thing surely the people would only be f glad to repeal it themselves but that couijcil knows well enough that halton will never repeal the scott act temperance people ask only fair play for the scott act give us good enforcing machinery and no favor and we will abide by the result rockwood news j w i t i frm our own correepofdeni mr wm mcfarlaneand son of norval are visiting friendb here mr m p barry had his hands slightly scalded at his stave factory

used to e said that the be3t french brandy was only canada whiskey made over but a ccording to m girard chief municipal liboratory of paris the stuff now largely sent out to a too confiding world is of more heinous quality he says from 1840 to 1850 about 25000 000 gallons c f brandy jvere made yearly in france and fully seventheights came from grapes at present more than 50000000 gallons are y early turned out but not one per cent of it is made from the grape grain cider beet potatoes c forming its principal sources the spirits thus ob tained woulc be fairly wholesome if they were properly rectified but they are not invariably v hen ppt upon the market they are charged with acids ethers and essen tial oils of the most deadly nature the startling increase of violent insanity and other
